[cups.general] Policy configuration, mixed mode access (user or IP address)

Is there a way to limit access to ("trusted set of machines" OR "an
authenticated user")?
ie:
print requests coming in from XYZ machine are using the same
authentication space as the cups box, so no password check is necessary
Print requests coming in from ABC machine are not (it's a privately
owned laptop), therefore the user must authenticate.
I tried this:
<Policy Foobar>
<Limit Create-Job Print-Job Print-URI>
Satisfy any
Order deny,allow
Allow x.x.x.x
Allow y.y.y.y
AuthType Default
</Limit>
..
..
..
</policy>
But clearly I don't understand the syntax, because it doesn't work. :)
Additionally: Is there any way to include a file within the limit
statement? (I tried "Include" here and got an error message.)
The "allow" list is dynamic and needs to be updated every day. Referring
to a standalone file would be much cleaner than having to generate a
complete policy file.
Thanks in advance.
